Tottenham Hotspur have doubts over Pedro Porro

The report has claimed that Tottenham’s biggest doubt over Porro is his physical condition.

The Portuguese news outlet has outlined how the former Manchester City prospect has had four muscle problems during his time at Sporting and has been affected by injuries.

Leonino have added that for Tottenham to sign Porro, who has a release clause of €45 million (£39 million) in his contract at Portuguese giants Sporting, they will have to sell either Matt Doherty, Emerson Royal or Djed Spence.

Tottenham are also reportedly aware that Barcelona, Real Madrid and Juventus all are interested in the Spain international, who can operate as a right-back, winger or wing-back.

Interesting development

This report in eonino is quite interesting given that it was only recently claimed in the Portuguese media that Spurs were keen on making an offer for the 23-year-old.

According to Correio da Manha, Tottenham are ready to pay the youngster’s release clause and sign him in January.

Porro has given four assists in the Portuguese league and has provided one assist in the UEFA Champions League for Sporting so far this season.
